Could Hallmark make Christmas any more magical?!
Yesterday we went to the North Pole Communications Station at North East Mall in Hurst, so we could talk to the elves.
Directly.
Like, “Hi, this is the Princess Cupcake.”
“Well, hi there, Princess Cupcake. Are you having fun with your mom today?”
What?!?
This gigantic display in the middle of the mall courtyard invited kids of all ages to dial up a new friend at the North Pole and chat with North Polians about their holiday business.
It was truly an interactive conversation, leaving even me wondering how Hallmark pulled this one off.
Don’t worry, even if you’re mall-averse, you can continue your conversations with your own mini Northpole Communicator Interactive Microphone that allow you to dial the North Pole each day. It only works once a day!
Neither of us were ready to leave the tables full of fun toys that are inspired by Hallmark Channel’s holiday movie, Northpole, starring Tiffani Thiessen, Josh Hopkins, Max Charles and Bailee Madison. This movie about people losing sight of Christmas because they’re so busy, sounds perfect for family movie night! Here’s the viewing schedule or you can purchase the CD at CVS or online.
I’m seriously thinking that the light up fuzzy snowballs are going to be a stocking stuffer gift for all the kids coming over for Christmas dinner. How fun would it be to have a snowball fight in the backyard with fluffy glowing snowballs?!
The Princess Cupcake especially liked the magic goggles and magic adventure “map” of the North Pole.
She was also digging the Mug-O-Matic hot chocolate mugs with either a polar bear or penguin that kicks the marshmallows into the mug.
Both of us loved the Nighty-Night Northpole light up storybook.
I literally gasped when I saw the little lights the first time, and then when I saw the aurora borealis after the story was over. It was so pretty! And a great reminder to go to bed and not stay up all night getting ready for Christmas like Santa. Mrs Claus says go to bed and turn out the light – EVERYONE!
The Find Me, Santa! Snowflake is pretty genius, especially for kids who spend Christmas away from home.
This pretty color changing snowflake sticks to the window to guide Santa to your house and stays lit for 4 hours. There’s even a place to put their name on the front.
My favorite product of all though, might be the Northpole Magic Mail Stationery.
This kit comes with several special papers to write to the North Pole. Simply put the letter in the envelope and into the freezer for a few minutes, and you’ll get a written response straight from Mrs. Claus or one of the elves. Seriously!
All of the above come with the Princess Cupcake stamp of approval. 🙂
While the Northpole Communications Station has moved onto the Los Angeles area (follow @hallmark and #northpole on twitter for event details), you can still make the anticipation of Christmas even more fun by playing the interactive games at NorthPole1820.com, viewing the delightful movie on the Hallmark Channel, order products online, or find them in select Hallmark stores, your favorite CVS, and even Walmart.
